Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
These are probably best played as power chords, though I can't quite tell if there's much of a guitar in this
or if it's just the bass.
If you listen carefully there are single notes played during the B and G that are played just once which are A
and F#. Listen to the song to get the timing right.
Like I say this could essentially be the bass notes, but you'll at least have something to work from.
I've also included some of the other guitar parts, though the 7-8 and 3-3 in the intro I'm unsure over.
The 14-15 and 12-12 parts are definitely right though.
